Oakland's City Council set the stage for another rancorous battle with the A's after the members voted late Wednesday to modify the terms of a lease agreement that would keep the team in the city for another 10 years.

The changes were mostly procedural, council members said, but they were enough to prompt the president of the A's to say he was "disappointed" in the city and unsure whether the team would agree to the changes.

At issue was a deal negotiated over the past 14 months that would allow the A's to play in the O.Co Coliseum for the next 10 years and bring in about $20 million to the city and Alameda County.

A's President Michael Crowley, however, said he was "caught by surprise" and "disappointed" that the council had changed the lease terms. Crowley said he couldn't say whether the A's would agree to the changes until he had the chance to review them.

Gallo, who stormed out of the chamber after the vote, said he worried that it would send the A's to another city.

"It is more nonsense," he said. "The City Council is full of nonsense."

Among the changes were a clarification of the notice the team must give the city before it would leave, the correction of a typographical error, and the definition of practices relating to parking and other matters.

"These are really, really easy changes," Kalb said to the A's officials. "It would be embarrassing to the A's to not go along with these changes that are absolutely modest and reasonable."

"If the A's are agreeable to the terms the city voted on, then I think we are good," Miley said after the vote.

The real purpose of the lease agreement, Miley and other officials said, was to give the A's a home in Oakland while they negotiate a deal to build a new stadium in the city.

"What this deal is really about is getting them into a place in the next three to five years where they can make a decision about where they permanently locate," said Jon Streeter, an attorney for the Coliseum Authority who negotiated the deal with the A's.
